Ahhhhhh....I am finally sitting down! LJ has run a fever today, (teeth? ear? I don't know), but he has been a trooper and allowed us to get some good stuff done.
Lance found a cool place for breakfast this morning, so we enjoyed breakfast out before our quest for a Wal-Mart. We found a Wal-Mart, though it wasn't "super", and got a few things we needed before going to get Rookie from the Kennel. It was so good to see him!!! He was going NUTS for like half an hour, then finally calmed down and went to sleep on my lap.
After LJ's lunch at home, Lance headed to the field and I began unpacking. By 5 p.m., this place looked like ours. It's so nice to be settled. I have to say, I enjoy the new cities, but the MOVING every couple of months is exhausting. Finding a place, packing up on a whim, unpacking the same stuff and trying to fit it in different drawers, etc. ...that stuff is not so fun sometimes. It's so nice to be settled, though. Now, we can look forward to getting to know the new city.
After 5, LJ and I found a grocery store to get the necessities. After piling our goods in the car, we headed back to the apartment, found a place in the parking garage and used LJ's stroller like a cart. He was on my hip, the groceries were in his seat. We made it up, took Rookie for a good stroll by the water, (one of the many neat new things to do here), and made LJ some dinner. After his dinner, I decided had had "earned" a dinner out! I ordered some lebanese food from downstairs, (restaurants galore here!) and LJ and I walked to the street to pick it up. I 've got to say, the night air was nice, and so was being able to pick up fun food without pulling the truck out its parking spot!
After returning, Lj and I played as I ate then got him ready for bed with a bath and lavender lotion rub-down. As I type this, he's giggling uncontrollably in bed -- not sure why. I just went in to see what he was up to, and I think he may be laughing at his Pablo the Penguin doll. His fever, though a low one, has me on guard, and I may take him to the doctor tomorrow. He's been through so much with the traveling and all, I don't want to let anything go too far.
I hope your day was great today -- Seriously, don't be afraid to take us up on our offer for a visit! We'd love to have you!!!
Have a great night!
Love,
Jamie
P.S. I will be posting pics tomorrow. I know it has been a while.
